Experience it for yourself

Just weeks remain before the all-new Audi RS 5 makes its debut as the newest member of the Audi driving experience (ADE) performance line-up, allowing Australian customers the chance to put this extraordinary machine through its paces on the track.

Even before the first wheels turn, the interest in the 2026 ADE calendar has been unprecedented, with many programs selling out as soon as they were announced.

And while the Audi driving experience never fails to excite participants whether they are hardened driving enthusiasts or those experiencing this level of driver training for the first time, there is no doubting the interest over the addition of the RS 5 to the line-up – the first high-performance plug-in hybrid to wear the coveted RS badge.

The combination of instantaneous acceleration thanks to the electric drive, coupled with the 3.0-litre twin-turbo combustion engine, make for an irresistible combination that can best be experienced on the track.

In addition to the all-new RS 5, participants are also able to experience the full range of the brand’s performance drivetrains back-to-back. From the multi-award winning 2.5-litre five-cylinder of the Audi RS 3 to the ground-shaking 4.0-litre V8 twin turbo RS Q8 performance and RS 6 Avant performance – right through to the extraordinary all-electric performance of the RS e-tron GT.

With Audi Australia’s Chief Driving Instructor and Motorsport ambassador, Steve Pizzati and his team of extraordinary instructors, customers can test not only their own limits but those of these extraordinary cars in the safety and surrounds of two of the country’s great motorsport venues – Sydney Motorsport Park and the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit.

Despite the surge in demand, a limited number of places are still available for Audi Dynamic driving experience and Audi Performance driving experience programs – courses designed to accommodate and benefit participants of all skill levels, from experienced motorsport enthusiasts to those making their first foray into high-performance driver training. Those who have taken part in ADE events before know what an exhilarating experience to expect, while those looking to take part for the first time have a real automotive treat in store.

Whichever category you fit into, the time to act is now to secure one of the last remaining places in the 2026 program and of course, for the chance to be one of the first in the country to get behind the wheel of the all-new Audi RS 5.
